More about the book
Exploring the period around 1900, the book delves into European travels to remote locations, where instead of the exotic, they encountered the "uncannily" familiar, a concept that influenced Freud and literary modernists. John Zilcosky examines how these experiences shaped cultural perceptions and continue to resonate with contemporary cross-cultural anxieties, highlighting the tension between the familiar and the foreign in a rapidly globalizing world.
